Week in Hot Springs

After the 4th, the kids and I decided to spend the rest of the week in Hot Springs with my mom. We felt like we needed a mini vacation;)!
Since neither mom or I feels comfortable enough to get the boat out by ourselves, we planned to do a LOT of swimming and make some more progress with McCoy. And we were successful!!
Since I still wasn't able to get in the water (I was waiting for my 6 week check-up), mom had to do most of the work. But from the very first day, McCoy did a great job! He wore his life jacket some and practiced with noodles. Now he wants to go swimming all the time!! Makes me so happy!! He actually started saying "Gigi, stay here" so she wouldn't help him. YAY!
Here are some pictures of his progress...



JUMP!



All by himself!



Climbing out



Taking a ride



Getting more brave



Violet did some observing.. and squeezed in a nap or two;)


Hanging in the condo





Smiling with her brother


On Friday, Kirk and Pop came back and McCoy was so excited! He had been talking about going on a boat ride when Pop got back all week! So Friday evening and all day Saturday, the boys stayed out on the boat. McCoy has also been jumping in the lake, but it always takes some convincing for him to get in. Once he does, he doesn't want to stop!!



Driving with Pop


Hanging out











Showing McCoy how fun it is to be in the water;)



And he's off!



Catch me Daddy!



Love this smile!!!



And love my boys!!
